It seems as though everyone, from show-grabbers like Dita von Teese and Tina Turner to red carpet favourites such as Gwyneth Paltrow and Charlize Theron, is in Paris right now, soaking up the newest, most outrageous, and most wearable trends on offer.

At the Chanel collections, Oscar winner Gwyneth cut a cool figure in a chic little tweed jacket teamed with this summer's de rigueur outsize shades and her blonde locks flowing oh-so-casually over her shoulders.

At the same event, shock-rocker Marilyn Manson's fiancée Dita von Teese sported a retro-glam look – black frock, marcelled hair and scarlet lips/nails. In sharp contrast, British model Erin O'Connor, sitting alongside, was clearly enjoying some time away form the demands of the profession: with her hair pulled back into a ponytail and her face apparently devoid of make-up, she was definitely there to see not be seen.

The effervescent Ivana Trump was also prominent in the front row, seated next to Tom Hanks' wife Rita Wilson. The A-listers have just a few more hours to get their orders in before the shows wrap later on Friday.
